honestly this seems like the most pointless accessory nintendo has ever put out, like are people seriously THAT lazy that they have to have a stand to put a lightweight portable device on while playing it? really?

This...looks...alright. I can see WHY Nintendo made it, but then it kind of seems...weird. I just hope it doesn't come in an unseparatable bundle, because I don't need it.

Oh, @James about MPH: No. I didn't get hand cramps because I used the Dual Mode Right option. I DID use the stylus aim function with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare DS, but I didn't get cramps there either.

This is the kind of rubbish peripheral solution that comes about because the 3D screen has such a bad viewing angle where you constantly lose the 3D effect if you shake or move the 3DS system in the slightest...

this could be very useful for a lets play or a walkthrough -imagine this: U R playing this and wanna film but still wanna have a comfy grip without having to move the 3dsSolution: Put the 3ds on this thing and put ur camera on a tripod and voila! DONE!

This seems about as useful as the not-getting-any-use stands that were included in the 3DS boxes that no longer work the moment you put any type of cover on your 3DS no matter how slim or tiny. I really like the $20 Nyko combo battery and rechargeable stand, but again wouldn't work with a case but at least you get useable battery life as a trade-off. Also, if you are going to include a useless cheap accessory in a game box at least make it cool looking and colorful to match the game.

Why didn't they just make this for Wii? I don't want to add a bunch of plastic to my 3DS to make this comfortable to play when there exists a perfect control solution on the console hooked up to my TV... lost opportunity I say. So sad.

I think this is a good/bad idea in many ways, with (to me) the goods outweighing the bads. And I bet this will be nice for those who get hand cramps a lot. We'll just have to see the pros and cons of it's use when (or if) it gets over here.
